CVE-2014-0198
MEDIUMEPSS 99th pctlDescription
The do_ssl3_write function in s3_pkt.c in OpenSSL 1.x through 1.0.1g, when SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS is enabled, does not properly manage a buffer pointer during certain recursive calls, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via vectors that trigger an alert condition.
CVSS v2 Vector
No CVSS vector data available.
Exploit Intelligence
Very high risk: more likely to be exploited than 99% of all known CVEs.
